A spellbinding dark dystopian fantasy trilogy from hugely popular dark romance author Nicci Harris, where young Aster is sworn to be a servant to the ruthless half-human King Rome, but when the king becomes obsessed with this ordinary girl, it could lead to war.

Young Aster is no different. If selected, she will be the King’s Silk Girl. A common human bred to adore and pleasure him, and to provide the Cradle with healthy babies for the Trade.

Adore. Pleasure. Provide.
That is her meaningful purpose.

But King Rome is more monster than man. As the heir of the genetically enhanced breed, he was designed to survive and rule this harsh new world. Through fear. Through intimidation. Rome has a heart as black as his giant pet eagle’s wings and a singular obsession—to reign.

That stands until one day Aster puts her tiny human hand in his...

Now she occupies his mind...

But the Trade upholds that love is not a virtue, and instead, a weakness. Nothing could be more dangerous to the regime than having its merciless king obsessed with a common girl born for Silk. Fairy Tales Fantasy Rome Royalty

This is unlike any book I’ve read- post apocalyptic isn’t really my vibe but this was really interesting. Astor is kind of hilarious and definitely grew on me as the book went on. I’m a fan!

So strange but very good

Love the story but did feel there were many unanswered questions. Felt at times it was more focused on spice then closing certain questions that was brought up throughout. Was very good tho still and would recommend

This book has been on my TRL list for a while and it did not disappoint. I really enjoyed the world building and the character development. I also liked how it explored different elements of human behavior and concepts.
The spice was hot! The narration was very good, both narrators did an amazing job. I definitely will be continuing with this series.

A great dystopian romance!

Interesting and unique dystopian premise that is just a backdrop for the main romance story. As long as you are aware of that and are not expecting crazy, detailed world building, then this is an enjoyable story. Sean Masters was perfect as Rome with his deep, velvety voice. CJ Bloom read this a little too child-like and naive so I ended up reading her chapters, instead of listening on audiobook. This book was done in dual narration, not duet, in case others were curious.
Rome is an OTT, alpha MMC that is possessive while also being a sweet cinnamon roll to Aster.

Sean Masters is the perfect Rome

Loved the narrators. Loved the characters. Loved the story. I will definitely be reading more Nicci Harris books.

Sean Masters was the perfect King Rome
